It damages your work ethic, motivation and ability to learn. That's why I would shy away from a potential draftee with a recent pot violation. And of course as TaS said, someone who would get caught doing that under the circumstances probably has poor judgment, which is another red flag.

It's a stupid, outdated rule that should come off the books. But he knew the rules and used poor judgement. The back injury is what will hold him back. He isn't fully recovered from surgery and he really needed another season to show that he is back to full strength.
